Actress-model-turned designer Mandira Bedi says that she is not keen on having her three-year-old son Vir turn a child artist. The actress introduced her son as a child model for Philips’ new range of Disney lightning for kids on Wednesday (July23) in New Delhi.

While many celebrities like the Bachchans and Shah Rukh Khan remain guarded when it comes to exposure for their kids, Mandira Bedi is very comfortable with her son in the limelight. “Vir made his first appearance at age four months. “The more he gets exposed to the people and the life that I have lead, it’s good.”

However the actress says that she is in no mood to let her little one to turn a child actor. “Exposing him to people in general is fine I don’t want him to be an actor. I’m not very keen on that. He should be what he wants to be.”

When asked if Vir is a pampered child like many celebrity kids, Mandira ‘assured’ that her son was not spoil. “When he throws a tantrum, I have absolutely no time for that. I spoke to teachers and doctors, they too have advised that do not give into his tantrums. I am a ‘kadak’ mom that ways,” she said. But says her husband is the lenient parent between the two.

Meanwhile, talking about her career, Mandira says that tough she has a lot of offers coming her way, she doesn’t see herself in the ‘kitchen politics’ kind of show. The actress, who was a part of Ekta Kapoor’s ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’, says “I have done such shows but now that chapter has closed for me. I am not putting down, what is on television but I don’t see myself in that space. Unless someone offers me a ‘Shanti;, I would definitely do that.”

Mandira Bedi says she has been getting a lot of offers post ’24’ for which she returned to the small screen after a gap of 9 years.

Talking about ’24’ season 2, Mandira said the script is currently being worked on. “It is in the writing process and I can’t say anything more. But it will go on floors in two months.”
